Mission 3 : The Aftermath
Maverick Hunter Control Room:
"You Idiot!" Axl can felt himself cringed due to the angry tone in X's voice through his ears. 'Here we go again….' The two of them standing in the center of control room, no one is reckless enough to approaching them, while X's needed to cool down and had his own tantrum temper.
"How can you accept this mission! You should at least wait until I'm or Zero return!" Axl's really hope he can turn off his audio system for not listening to X's lecture. But he wont, because some of X lectures is right and even if he not careless enough in that mission, he'd still get a lecture, cause it's supposedly not a solo mission.
"Cool yourself, X …Looks, he's fine, and also the mission is completed.." X look toward Zero who is approaching both of them
"But Zero….."
"If you want to waste your energy to angry at the kid, you're better using it by write a 'damn' report about the mission." Zero words make Axl want to laugh, knowing why the red hunter is really hate about make a report. Axl can hear the sighed X release.
"I'm not like you , Zero who really love the report very much, even dare to abandon them and must have somebody to coaxing it to you to finished it before the deadline." X said it with his sarcasm voice.
"Whatever…." Zero really doesn't care. Why'd a reploid like him need a report, that's for a passive type, not an action one like him
"You're better write all the summary that just happened in the mission, and give it to Commander Signas and me today." X's eyes darted to where Axl stand, whom's now tense under X observe.
"I'm on it!" with that, Axl's given a salute and run toward the gate, gone before X given any more speech with the gate sliding off, closing the gap between the control room and the hallway.
"And..Don't run in the hallway…He's gone now…"This is the third time X had to sighed.
"It's everything okay, X?" He'd looked away to meet an eye with the navigator with the blond hair and the other two navigators whose eyes also in X.
"Everything is fine Alia, Don't worry about it." X's smiled at Alia, making sure she's not worry.
"No, there's something weird going on, X." Zero said, with calming voice.
"How can you said that, Zero?" X's eyes darted where Zero has stand.
"It's just weird, to think why the higher position want the data inside the orbital elevator?" Zero eyes still seeing into the screen panel that's show many statistical data. "Did they want to proceed with the construction of the moon project, or there's other intention?"
"I know you'd always suspicions, Zero. But we can't do anything except do what they want.." X sighed again, truth to be told, there's no other news anymore about the manufacture of New Generation Reploid. And he's not sure about it too. "The manufacture of New Generation, has been stopped due to the event regarding Lumine, so there's no problem. I think…."
"I'm not sure X, I'm had a bad feeling about it."
"Maybe we can help.." Layer interrupted their conversation.
"Is that so Layer?" Zero eyes meet with Layer's.
"Yes, before Axl gone, he also given the data to us for investigation about it." Layer check are redden when her eyes met with Zero
"Do you already check on it?"
"Pallete is doing her job." Answered Layer; while there is an echo of Pallete voice saying about 'I'm on it!'
"Thank you." X can't help to smile, giving his regard to his navigators whose always helping him and his partner.
"Don't worry, it's our job anyway." Said Alia with a smile, her right hand still holding her communicator." So, while waiting from our information, why don't you also write the report about the other mission, before you'd saved Axl?"
"I'm already on it, Alia." X smile again, this time much softer, he can't help, he'd always like that when he'd a conversation with Alia.
"And here we're, doing our troublesome report.." Zero groaned, he really can't be helped when doing that kind of thing.
"Zero!"
"I'm know X, I'm know…."
He can't stop running, like there's something wrong in his nervous legs system. 'Why he'd run anyway'. He's not care when other reploids whose passing by, given him a weird look to him for running through the hallway, never know where he'd stop to his destination. Beside he'd to write the report. The mission today, it's weird and the mysterious reploid he just meet, he'd know the voice. But where he'd meet before?
"Never-mind then." He's talking to himself. He's better checking on the data that acquired inside the moon-base, maybe there is something useful information about him. He never had known about himself. All he can remember is the face of Red when the first time he'd waked. But first, there's a report he must hand over. Well hope it will not be long…
The sound of rotation, hologram report can be heard. Hand moving from right to the left of the hologram, while an eye observe inside the contents of the report.
"You dismiss." The heavy voice yet superior told him that he'd done his job pretty well.
"Yes sir!" Axl's given a salute to his and only high commander in the Maverick Hunter none other than the commander Signa.
"Don't forget to given the other to X. He also wants to know what happen."
"I'm know sir.." Axl's voice is trailed off. His feet's already move on it's own, and stop when Signa is saying more than he should be.
"And Axl, thank you for doing this assignment.."
"No problem sir. It's my responsibility as hunter." He smiled, then walked to the exit. The sound of gate opened and closed, is the end of conversation.
Maverick Hunter Lounge Quarter:
Axl's sitting in one of the seat and start to function his device. Nobody in the lounge quarter except him, for now. Searching through his database, in a recently downloaded, and found what he want, The Orbital Elevator data. Luckily, he was allowed to keep it for his own data.
'Let's see…'The data he'd acquired is include with the blueprint of Elevator Project, the structure of the certain organization, the manufacture of new generation in Giga City (he'd go in there and back with empty-handed, excluding the event with the rebellion in Giga City), and 4th Maverick Wars…..
'Wait?...Why there is a 4th Maverick Wars inside the data of Elevator Project.' Dive into his curiosity, he's reading the information.
4th Maverick Wars Known as Repliforce Wars:
At the year 21XX, two large Reploid armies currently exist to counter the Mavericks: The Maverick Hunters and the Repliforce. The two organizations cooperated in several occasions before, the Repliforce has created due to some human civilians don't have any trust anymore with the Maverick Hunters.
But one day, The Aerial City Sky Lagoon was attacked by Mavericks and destroyed, causing it to fall onto the city below, killing thousands. As the Repliforce was present in the area, and they were under suspicion. Their leader, General, is indicated with the suspicion and starts a coup d'état to build a nation only for Reploids, and declare their war of independence. The Maverick Hunters are sent to stop them, starting a war between them.
During the war, the Repliforce went to space to begin their nation, and the Hunters go after their space station. When the Hunters finally reach General, and they begin to fight. Suddenly, unknown to the Hunters the weapon in the station prepares to destroy Earth, and the true conspirator is reveal to be Sigma. Sigma is destroyed by the Hunters, but the weapon can't be stopped by them. The General sacrifices himself to stop the weapon.
The Other Mavericks General that terminated in Repliforce Wars are: Web Spider, Magma Dragoon, Storm Owl, Split Mushroom, Frost Walrus, Slash Beast, Jet Stingray, Cyber Peacock, Colonel, Iris (Known as Colonel Little Sister), Double (Double Spy Agent for both Repliforce and Maverick Hunters). All of them are terminated by Maverick Hunters X and his partner Zero.
Other Information: Iris is a Navigator and Operator for Zero and Double is a Navigator and Operator for X. Both were terminated by themselves.
"…" Not any word can't come out from his mouth. He just can't believed it, is not that he not trust this information, but he'd never known the real story about the 4th wars or any other Maverick Wars, excluded the 7th and the 8th he'd experienced the first hand, so he known the truth. Not just a general announcement from the ministry. X and Zero never told anything about it. Maybe they don't want to…
Red…. He'd remember that some of his friends in Red Alert told him that Red once was a member of Repliforce. 'Why he'd resign?', Red never speak about his past too. 'Is the 4th wars really that horrible than the others?'. For him, the 7th is the most horrible, cause he must terminated his own friends and only family up until now in Red Alert, including his own mentor. And he's never told X and Zero about it. 'Should he'd better ask both of them about it?'.
"Axl!" His thought has cut off by the voice that calling him, due to surprised. He'd jump from where he's sat and looked over to the one who calling him is X, that had stand near the exit gate of the lounge quarter.
"X, what the matter?" Axl's tried to calm his generator pulse from beating to hard, caused by yelling of X's and due to surprised.
"I'm looking for you, to handed the report I'm Ordered to you, and I'd to called you many time, seem you'd spaced out." His eyes suspicious to Axl, assume that Axl'd not finished the report he'd ordered to. And maybe not…
"I'm had place it in your desk since you not in your place when I'm come." Answered Axl.
"I see…." X seem in deep thought and that is realize by Axl
"What's it X?" Axl's eyes never stop staring from the movement that's created by X's.
"Never mind…Just meet us in the control room, there is other mission we'd to complete." His right thumb is pointed to the exit, told Axl, to go with him.
"What's another one?" Axl'd not finished with sorting the data he got from the Moon-Base, but to his surprised he never thought there's other mission.
"You don't want to go?" There's smirk in X feature, He'd never know why he'd like to annoy the kid and more importantly getting annoyed by the kid too.
"Of course I want!" Shouted Axl, he's then run after X who's stand and already turn over and start walk into the exit.
"Then hurry up, let's go…"
"Wait for me, X!"
Maverick Hunter Control Room:
The furious typing can be heard; all of the navigators and operators are busy with their computer. The central room, seem in serious circumstance. The flipping of hologram screens with high velocity, while the screens panel in the center room appears to be a tower in some kind of city. The red armor reploid is leaning his back in the wall, while his eyes are reading through the hologram report, briefing about the mission. Ignoring the activity all around him.
The gate is slide, showing the new comer of two hunters inside the central room. X's given a greeting to Zero, which also turn it back too. Then he goes to the place where the commander Signas is sit. While Axl's walking, approach to where Zero stand. Seem all the main role is present, so Signas's given X his report and mission briefing and Axl's who already read the one that Zero had given to him.
"As all you can see, there're a captive in the Aerial City, Sky Lagoon by The Mavericks. Until now there're not any activities from them or any compensation to trade with the captive. The captive are including both humans and reploids. " Three of are silence, listening to their commander and watching the image in the center screen panel. The image with both humans and reploids that look like a captives are siting with fear in their features and there are many reploids who'd walked, holding a weapons, keep a watch over them.
"But that's not our worried from now. Because there is a possibility of the percentage that the reploids captive are also become maverick. We not sure if the mavericks whose take captive are whether the old generation like us or the new generation…"
"So all we'd to do are rescuing them as fast as we can, and make sure all of them are safe." Signa had given a nodded to answer X's response to the situation of mission.
"Never thought we'd go to that place again, joy to the memories.." Zero said sarcastically while getting a glare from X said him to shut up for a while.
"Yes, make sure and hope that, the reploids captive have not been infected with the maverick virus."
"Understood." Three of them given their salute to their commander, and walking to the teleport pod.
"This time, I'm the one who become your Navigator." Her finger never stop to typing into the keyboard in front of her. But she still have a change to given him a confirmation.
"Thank you, Alia." X'd answered Alia with a smile in his feature.
"You welcome and please be careful, X." Alia's smile back to X, seeing him depart into the mission area, while keeping a contact with him.
"Yeah, Let's go." The blue light surrounding three of them, and with a blink of the eye, their silhouettes are gone….
